Now, I am not a supporter of PETA and their radical efforts to advance animal rights. Yet, where are they as this furry household pet beckons for their support? They are nowhere to be found! Bill O’Reilly similarly brought this issue up and called the proponents of this leash law “pinheads” in his “Pinheads and Patriots” segment on his June 24th, 2010 show.

Nature intended cats to roam and prowl freely in given territories. They will go about their ways, and claw you if you interfere, so beware! The clause justifying the need for cat leashes is rooted in complaints, particularly in regards to the destruction of a local Barre, VT resident’s backyards. Understandably, some residents might feel hurt by cats encroaching on their turf. Others in this city argue that roaming cats prey on wildlife, notably birds, and thus impair conservation efforts. Yet, it will be the cat owners, and soon enough other pet owners, that suffer from the burden of taxes and punishments that will surface from this pathetic law — and of the others that will undoubtedly follow.
